‘Provide less arms’ if you think death toll is too high, Josep Borrell tells Israel allies

But let’s be logical how many times have you heard the most prominent leaders and foreign ministers around the world saying too many people are being killed President Biden said this is too much on the top is not proportional well if you believe that too many people are being

Killed maybe you should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people being killed it’s not logical

The EU foreign policy chief made a thinly veiled call for the US to rethink its military aid to Israel due to the high number of civilian casualties in the war in Gaza.

Borrell recalled that Joe Biden said last week that Israel’s response to the 7 October Hamas attack had been ‘over the top’ and US officials had repeatedly said that too many civilians were being killed in Gaza, Reuters reported. ‘Well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms … isn’t it logicial?’ Borrell told reporters after a meeting of EU development aid ministers in Brussels.

  1. Speaking about money I have a plan how we, the people not governments, can end the war in 2 days. Not only that, we end poverty too. Not only that, we can leverage humanity to a greater level.
    How about "sharing everything willfully" and I'm not being ideological really but I feel this is a way out. No one should find it hard to live, eat and get a decent sleep in a home. Resources should be enough for everyone and they are. But billionaires are a role model to average people and this is the problem really ! As if people want this bad system. No billionaire can be as such without the agreement by the general public on the scarcity of money, here comes the virtue of "sharing willfully". This isn't initiated by the government btw, everything starts from the people. The bad system will break within days and all suffering shall end everywhere.
    We have great powers ! This is what no one wants us to believe, especially those in power who would like us to feel fine about being selfish and to be satisfied by any downside perspective or low ambition in life as low as preserving a job, and delude us that the problem is technical somehow and try all means to distract us by leveraging side topics.
    We can write articles about how bright our future will then be after we start sharing everything willfully.
    Things are devastating to local citizens only ? no. What happens today in Gaza is a natural byproduct of the arrogance of elites which happened 100 years ago back in Palestine when land was stolen and natives there didn't ever have the chance in self determination. Ever. Forget everything about democracy. All lies. And then resistance against the Z people (who control your government now) emerged and grew ever more and we reached here.

  2. Arms corpirations in the West and US are making substantial profits on the gaves of palestinians. Most western loliticians benefit directly frim these profits so they wont stop.

  3. Actually he would say this if lived in Sderot alongside Gaza and had missiles raining on his home every week.
    Also he probably would not say this if he was 1 of the 1.5 million Gazans who have lived under Hamas terror since 2006 and have no freedom, and are used by Hamas as human shields. Gazans have lost everything only because of Hamas.

  4. It depends on the type of arms but mainly on the military strategy. Civilian casualties will be low if you go in with infantry rather than rely on aerial bombardment.

  5. Logic…. Killing thousands…"Collateral Damage" …. Killing few…"Terrorism"…. Houthi's didn't killed a single person in this war but still termed as "Terrorist Group" 🤔😇

  6. It’s not just about Gaza, it’s about the Arms Trade. There appears to be no investigation into the arms manufacturers, their covert laboratories, their deals around the world, or their profits. It’s a murky unregulated free for all, making obscene profits on the back of death and destruction.

  7. LIBEREN A LOS REHENES. ISRAEL ES UN PUEBLO PACIFICO. Israel es de los judíos. Los árabes, palestinos, Sirios y otros que quieran vivir allí tienen que respetar las leyes de Israel y ser como hermanos respetar las leyes de Israel y ser como hermanos de sangre .APOYO A BENJAMIN NETANYAHU GRAN PRESIDENTE DE ISRAEL. Israel tiene el derecho a defender sus ciudadanos y sus territorios

  8. I presume you are talking about Ukraine …??? Yes, No, ?? Imbecile….of course he is referring to Gaza BUT it’s the same….. the same man stated Ukraine will fight till the last man standing….. Talk about double standards…..
